I'm still getting pretty good battery life on the stock miui rom. I can typically go about two days without a full charge. I'm interested in trying a new custom rom but I don't want to sacrifice battery life so hopefully we can find the best rom for our device for that

12 hours maximum on 3g

hey guys,
i used to get same SOT as you guys ( ~ 12-13 hours) for the first 6-7 months, hell, i used to get 1 hour SOT from 100% - 99%
after that the SOT decreased, and only giving mein around 8-9 hours.
Is this battery depletion or their software ****up?
Whatever it is, is this normal?

Something like this, in the short period of under a year, is never normal. Problably, a mess-up at Xiaomi's software team.
Poco M3 very slow?
Hi guys, I just bought the Poco M3 and I find it very slow, not only on opening apps but also things like opening recent apps menu, popping up keyboard, etc. Anybody else is experiencing this? The specs are pretty decent so I guess it's a badly...

Look at this thread about a Poco M3 performance issue. Maybe, all of the solutions found to their performance problem, can be the solution to your battery problems.

Just browsing facebook, reddit, email every now and then, I just figured with 3000mah battery i'd be getting 4.5-5 hrs sot , my nexus 5, with its 2300 mah, was getting 3 hours of sot, thats main reason I upgraded, could my battery be bad? or is this normal.. when I look online most ppl get 4 1/2 - 5 hours, ofcourse thats coming from the initial reviews an ppl running kitikat and stuff, just like to know what everyone else is getting w basic useage, no gaming/video streaming

I have never got more then 3-4 hours of SOT on my G2, i've used it for almost 2 years now. There were occasions where i got 5 hours of SOT, but those were exceptions(On Wifi, with very low brightness).. But then I'm a heavy user - lots of apps installed, around 2 hrs of music on my daily commute, Lots of time on G+/Instagram/Twitter/FB & 1-2 hours of calls. This combined with flashing of new ROMs every month or so. People posting 4-5 hours of SOT usually have lots of options disabled - Reduce brightness settings to lowest, Sync background data disabled, GPS disabled, On WiFi all the time, etc..
@mistororange Anything more then 3 hours of SOT, while you are using your phone through 3g/4g networks is pretty good, in my opinion. Only if you see drastic reduction in your battery life, then you should worry.

Bad SOT

Hi there,
I know that the topic has been dealt with countless times, but despite having asked and posted screenshots 2 or 3 times on dedicated threads, I couldn't get an answer. So I open my own thread hoping to draw attention
My S7E is the exynos one ,free from branding and never rooted and on the latest FW BPHJ. I have a hard time achieving decent SOT. My usage is mainly listening to podcasts (2h20 per day), few calls or sms. One thing, I have bad signal at office or home (1 or 2 bars). I know that it impacts the battery. Andoid OS and Android system are toping the list usually and on the below screenshot Google Play too because of MX player (certainly the ads). Something surprises me though, it's the amount of data consumed by the Andoid OS ! Please take a look at the below screenshots, and give me your feelings if you please
Thx guys.

Does your phone run hot ? And also if its hot while charging.
My advice to you is disabling fast charge because heat degrades battery very fast. I am rooted with stock firmware and i can get 8 to 10 hours sot constant usage. Have you ever gotten more than 3 hours sot?
Find AOD in app manager and uninstall its updates and force stop it even if you never used it before. And remove anything oculus. Replace facebook messenger with messenger Lite.
Had bad battery life but now im back at 7hrs SOT easy.

I do not use fast charge on a regular basis. Only when I forgot to charge it overnight I give it a quick boost and disable it just after. It's sometimes hot when I use it but not so often.
Yes I have already got 5 hours SOT but it did not occur many times.

I do not have Facebook account so the app is disabled since first day. Will give a try to the others advices. But I am a bit skeptical.

Hi, May I ask you how do you manage to get 6-8 SOT because I have the phone since a week with global ROM installed and I get around 4 hours ( the same I had also before with Chinese ROM)

4 hours is reasonable, person with 6-8 hours SOT will highly likely have different usage to you.....
Turn brightness down, install another kernel, don't use high demanding apps as much, close and turn things off when not using, use power saving apps etc
I can't believe that my mi mix 3 has only 3200mah battery
Global rom, non root:

Any special settings to get this SOT?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I'm getting 8-10 hours of SOT
~Global Rom No Root
Power savings mode enabled.
CPL (Pixel Launcher with theme changed to black in the settings)
MIUI Android Pie Dark theme (Makes the system menus Black)
Legam Black Icon Pack
Kiwi Browser with Night mode
Youtube with dark mode
Google APK ports from the Pixel with dark mode.
No GPS, No Data, No Bluetooth, WIFI only
Solid Black wallpaper.
50-75% brightness
I also had battery issues. Sas barely.using phone and in half a day telephone asked for.charging. whaat i did was disxharge to shut down then charge to 100% without turning on the phone. It helped a lot. Ove read aomewhere that this method is food once a year for phone battery because it helps to calbrate the energy levels in the battery.
Also it.is good. to use as dark pixels.as u can becausw.the.brighter the more.energy ia going to be used.
Also disable.services you dont need(wifi,gps,mobile data,nfc, bluetooth background processes, anything thhat is using your battery energynto.work.
With advices in this.thread you can prolong your battery by like 40%. Can confirm that it.helped me.
Just do.some reasearch on enerfy saving in a smartphone.
Battery
I've got mine for around 3 days and the battery don't last even half a day, it usually lost 10% in 2h. while in idle, I have AoD, Bluetooth and data, but I'm quite sure that it's not normal.

I have MIUI 10 Global Stable, last update.
In the meantime I turned off AoD and now it's fine, I've found out that the screen never turn off even when inside the pocket.
I was able to get 6 hours of sot
I recommend disabling the option to use adaptive battery, at least it improved here after I deactivated it.
On PE I was able to get 8 hours of SOT right now I'm testing out AEX seeming it was March security patch I'll keep you guys updated on it
Edit: same with PE around 8 hours of SOT

Bad Battery Life in RN7 with LineageOS 18.1

Hello everyone, I have a 2.5 year old RN7 running the latest version of LineageOS (Android 11) and I'm struggling to get more than 5 hours of screen on time, and I have to charge my phone every day. Below is a screenshot I took a few days ago of the battery usage from 100 to 3%.

This is weird because there doesn't seem to be any particular app that's draining battery and when I first got my phone and was running MIUI 10 and 11 I had no issues reaching 8h of SOT and I remember I charged my phone every 2 days. Could this be an issue with the ROM?
Thank you very much!

I did. Auto brightness is always off and I set my brightness right in the middle except when I'm in the sunlight. This is yesterday's battery usage.
In this case it kinda seems like Plex was draining a lot of battery for some reason, but I almost never use plex and I always get around this SOT vs the 8-10 some people show here with their RN7. I'm considering switching back to miui to see if that fixes it but I'd rather leave that as a last resort.

Did U ever reached such high SOT with ur RN7 ?

I see, thank you for the link. I'm really not sure about the SOT I got right when I got the phone and I was running MIUI, but what I do remember clearly is that I could reach the end of the day with maybe with 60% and I was able to charge my phone only every 2 days. Now that's not the case anymore.
For sure 5H 30M SOT still a very good value for an 2,5 years old battery.
